Officials at a post office in Petrozavodsk called in a threat after discovering a package that was emitting a strange ticking noise, reports The Telegraph.

"The post building was ringed by the security forces and people were evacuated," a police spokeswoman told the British paper. "In the package the bomb squad found a vibrator."

The sex toy had reportedly been turned on "by accident," the paper reported.

Russian police deemed the device harmless.
